Both of the sources are from trash newspapers but it wouldn't suprise me if he went there for a year for one last payday.
Didn't he want to go back to Argentina at all cost? No matter, I would do the same. He is probably skint.
Money grabbing little shit cnut.
People say 'money grabbing' like its a bad thing.
If they pay me £635k a week I'm willing to grab a lot more than just money.
If my career was on its last legs and i was in a profession that sees people retire at 34, there's no way i'd turn that money down.
'set to sign' always reminds me of getting that giddy feeling when about signing an awesome player in the CM series.
Thing is, even if your in your prime it would be very difficult to turn that kind of money down.
Definitely. Maybe if i was at an elite club challenging for the top honours, but it's no surprise that the likes of Ramires and Hulk end up out there.
He's getting paid £24 MILLION a year for god sake
Isn't there a problem when it comes to Chinese courts and enforcing contracts that makes all these deals seem better than they actually are? I'm not sure about the details but I think I read that somewhere recently.
He just wants to be closer to home.
Wasn't one of his complaints about playing away from home and that he'd rather play in Argentina for less money?
I guess everyone does have their price and that's ridiculous money.

Good for him. He seems like a cultural open minded guy who'll pick up the language in no time. Nice to see a bit of cosmopolitanism amongst footballers.
He could commute from Argentina in his own jet for that kind of money.
But he's already in Argentina now? Or Brazil? I don't know or care.
Fans love to make it out like playing football should be more than a job to footballers.
As if anyone here would be any different
Never go full Trump, mate!
Argentina. Boca Juniors
Wonder how our resident Juve fans feel about this. Moaned his way out of Turin because he misses home, goes to China less than two years later.
I'd let ten men have a go on me every day for that kind of money
I don't think that's how that kind of thing is supposed to go, aren't you supposed to say you'd do something you wouldn't enjoy for that kind of money? haha!
Touche
Id take a job in Shanghai in a heart beat if my wages were increased 5 fold. Its a great city.
Anyone who doesn't take the last pay day is an idiot imo.

Fair play to him. That's an amazing pay packet if true. If you said to almost anyone that they could earn more than they've ever earned before all while past their best and close to retirement, they'd snap your hand off.
If he has sensible people around him he'll never have to work another day. Can't see how anyone could blame him for that.

Be honest. You'd do it for the price of a johnny.
So anyone who is rich enough and wants to be near his family and kids would be an idiot to not chase more cash? Some people just think cash makes you happy, how shallow and sad...
Strange to remember Tevez was a United player, loved him but had zero loyalty
Thats a bit precious isnt it? He's lived his entire career like that, what is 9 months if he can then support his family for their entire lives.
Plenty of people live away from family at periods without having the financial luxuries he would have to regularly fly home.
A 9 month jolly to live in a new culture and get paid shite loads is hardly becoming estranged.
People are shallow and sad and that is an awful lot of money to turn down.
9 months away from your kids and then the ability to spend every day with them thereafter? I'd take it.
Hell, there are plenty of people who'd pay that if they could afford it to get away from their kids for a few months.
If the Chinese are crazy enough to offer that sort of money, then good on him is all I can say and enjoy your final payday.
I like Tevez, don't care what came after his time with us. He always gives his all for his team when he's on the pitch.
